(He has similar loads for other calibers, which claim to keep the ball and HP close together (1" @ 10 yards, 2.5" at 25 yds))

What's your take? Any field history on this type of thing beyond .mil's experiments many years ago with multiple rifle projectiles? Is it an "under-recognized potentially good idea" for maximizing the chances of a critical CNS/circulatory hit, or a "solution in search of a problem" in the face of known solid performance from more conventional loads?

FWIW, for years I've carried the 165 gr GD load in my .40's and #1 Federal high-brass 2.75" in my 12g, and don't really have any concerns with their performance, based on what I know anyway.

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

The only multi-ball handgun loads I've run across shootings with were the old Remington, and snakeshot/ratshot. None seem to be impressive.
